8-minute walk from the terminals gets you an EV bay
The EV Charging Parking Zone at Chengdu Shuangliu (CTU) sits about an 8‑minute walk from the main terminal area, so build that into your timing if you have luggage or kids in tow. It’s a surface lot set up for electric vehicles only, so don’t plan to leave a gasoline car here.
Pricing runs on a simple daily rate structure, with stays counted per 24-hour period rather than calendar day. The posted rate is 10 per day (local currency), which usually undercuts the closer short‑stay options tied directly to T1 and T2. If you’re parking more than one night, this zone often works out cheaper than rotating through drop‑off lanes or rideshares.
Charging points are integrated into the parking bays so you can plug in as soon as you park, then walk the 8 minutes to T1 or T2. Stalls are standard-width, so larger SUVs fit, but don’t expect extra room beyond a typical airport space. Power output and connector types can vary, so verify your cable and adapter before you pull into the lane to avoid blocking a spot while you sort it out.
The EV Charging Parking Zone sits on the landside road system that serves both T1 and T2, so you’re parking before security. That means check‑in, baggage drop, and security still sit between you and your gate after the 8‑minute walk. If you’re on a tight departure, add at least 30–40 minutes on top of the walk for the usual airport formalities.
Tip: Take a quick photo of your charging bay number and the nearest signage on arrival; it speeds up payment and makes it much easier to find your car after a late‑night return into CTU.
